Some Firsts from TAG Heuer

TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop.

His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements:

• the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second,
• the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars,
• the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and
• the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.
